1:23 pm
roll call. president was criticized for failing to talk about in his inauguration address the most important issues plaguing americans, joblessless ns and economy. would you expect him to talk about this time? >> absolutely. you are right. just a few weeks during inauguration address, president threw a lot of bones to his party. mentioned climate change and gun control and all these issues, everything we heard from the white house indicates that the president's state of the union is going to be a very different speech. they say it is going compliment his inauguration speech but it's going to focus on economic issues. >> gregg: i wonder what he can say. look. facts are difficult. unemployment is worse than when he took office. nonpartisan cbo says it is not going to get any better. they say it's going to be about

1:26 pm
the new norm. is he going to say something similar to? >> that i don't know if he is going to say something similar to that. >> looking at his rhetoric in the past especially during these big speeches he doesn't talk a lot about the past. if he does, he talks about his predecessor. i think what he'll do about going forward. this is what congress needs to do. if they don't do this, the economy is going to backslide even more. >> gregg: shira, thanks very much. >> heather: we are following the search for christopher dorner. he is accused of going on deadly rampage as revenge from a dismissal from the lapd. what would drive anybody to do what he is accused of? we'll speak live to an f.b.i. profiler up next. >> when you have someone of this nature, someone who is highly trained and been a police officer in the past, prior military experience, who has
